Latest Diorama - "Sniper"

Trying to focus mainly on the figures here is my latest 1/35th scale creation. This depicts the fighting in the rubble of Arnhem by the galant British "Red Devil" paras. The dio depicts Red Devils trying to advance and move one of their gravely wounded comrades by way of an British airborne jeep in the area. As the Jeep tries to position itself by reversing toward the trolley the driver is suddenly hit by sniper fire. The kneeling gent with the sten and the piat team try to use some covering fire until the driver can be dragged to a safer place. The rest of the troops are caught in the open some crouching to avoid another shot, some yelling in confusion and a couple of troops pointing in the direction which they think the shot may have came. It might be hard to tell exactly whats happening from the pics so I figured I'd explain it to help it along. The buildings, Jeep, trolley and about 80% of the figures are all modified to some extent. I used Vallejo acrylics along with MIG oil paints and MIG pigments to complete the entire scene. Any questions or comments greatly appreciated. 

 

 

120MM Kuban Cossack in German service...

Matt Wellhouser told me to go back to painting Germans so here ya go Matt, sort of. This is a 120MM figure which was given to me by my friend Chris Mrosko. I believe he was supposed to be a Kirin release some years ago but never quite made it for whatever reason. I painted him as usual in Vallejo acrylics.

U.S Marine circa 1804 Tripoli Invasion...

Hello all here is one from Minuteman Models that I was lucky enough to do the box art for. This is one completely out of my realm (lots of colors) but I had a great time doing him. You can look for him as a new release very soon. As usual he is painted in Vallejo acrylics.

New World Miniatures Saipan Marine WWII...

This is my latest commission work for a client (actually have another one to do). It is the great sculpt by John Rosengrant in 120MM. Figure is painted as always in Vallejo Acrylics. Quality of the pics are not great but that is on par for me.

MG34 gunner Leningrad...

Here is my latest figure. It is a 120MM sculpt from Jeff Shiu Miniatures and it is absolutely fantastic. So good in fact that I just purchased every figure in his line. The figure is painted as always in Vallejo acrylics.

Minuteman Models mountain man bust...

This one will be released under the Minuteman Models moniker (sister company to Tiger Models owned by Jose T. Rodriguez). It depicts a mountain man of the 1800's in a 200MM bust. It is a very clean sculpt and I've learned you can add quite a bit of artistic license since there are no real guidelines to colors! Minute Man Models will launch their own website very very soon. The address will be www.minutemanmodels.com. They also have 2 more new figures scheduled to be released shortly a 120MM U.S. medic Normandy era and to my excitement a 120MM U.S. Marine of the early 1800's. Thanks to those who helped me out with some interesting color plates and reference for this bust it was a fun little project and thanks to Jose Rodriguez for allowing me to paint the box art. Bust is painted as always in Vallejo acrylics.
